One of the things I completed recently was for a gift exchange I'll be doing in December. I needed something about $15, so I figured I'd make it.
I started out with a set of cards. I didn't do pics of the whole set (I should've, but I was lazy!), just took a pic of the first one in the packaging. All of them have this same layout, just with different colors. They all use a plain Basic Grey paper where I stamped Vintage Labels and then cut out and then a patterned paper from Basic Grey. Completed with a coordinating ribbon.
Of course, I didn't think that was enough, so I made a notepad to go along with it. This uses all the same supplies as the cards, but I added a Ripe Avocado button and some Rustic Jute twine to keep it closed. I also added a pocket on the inside to keep lists or receipts together and added some patterned paper to it to tie the inside with the outside.
I think it turned out cute. Now to see if the girls like it or not...We do a "chinese" exchange where you draw numbers and pick out of a pile which gift you want. Then the next person can steal or open a new gift. I'll know if it's a hit if my gift gets stolen! :) (and those of you who read my blog and will be at the party on the 11th, this is not for that exchange!)

No need to give it away in the exchange, you can just hand it over and we'll call it even :).
DAMN YOU! Now everyone will know what to steal.
geez, this makes my gift look like crap.
